Summary: Too dumb form words
Review: It is always fun to see dinosaurs eat people. I like the chase scenes and the "stay in the car" scenes. Even the consumption of a satellite phone can be fun. But you can only dumb things down so much before losing any plausibility. In a mediocre movies you root for the creature to eat the dumb person that walks up to it and says, "Aren't you just the cutest thing?" In this one the characters are not worth eating. The story line and execution are so incredible that it does not matter that the are transparent to the viewer form the start. Thy should have went ahead and made it campy.Basic story is paleontologist would not set foot on island of ancient creatures. Mysterious couple with lots of cashes just wants him to point out the highlights from the air (yeah sure).
One item in the plus is Sam Neil has more than one expression.

Summary: And some of you can gripe about The Lost World?!
Review: I hate this movie with a passion. The only reason I bought it was to fill my trilogy box. If I made a list of the most disapointing movies of all time, Jurassic Park 3 would be NUMBER 1! Now I cannot say it is the worst movie of all time, being a Mystery Science Theater 3000 fan, but to me Jurassic Park has a very, very special place inside of me. The Lost World was also a big disapointment, but nothing compared to the likes of Jurassic Park 3. I wanted to hurt Joe Johnston. He hurt me. And I want him to know it! The recipe for JP3 is, first you get a big role of film. [] mix it with bad dialoge, take it out, let it bake for 3 minutes, then throw away the script, get good actors, and make them look bad, let it sit in the garbage for three days, add the [bad] director, and there you have it. Jurassic Park 3, see it, hate it, buy the DVD. As much as I like Speilberg, I think this was more of a get-money scheme!

Summary: The best "Jurassic Park" movie!
Review: I got this DVD for Christmas, and I liked it. I think it's by far better than any of the other Jurassic Park movies. The raptors are better than ever. They are always good, but, in this movie they were the best. The plot could have been better and longer. But, this movie sure is worth your money!

Summary: Jurassic Park III is no Dinosaur.
Review: Usually when a film series hits the third sequel, it has all ready run out of steam and becomes a parody of itself. JURASSIC PARK III does not run into that problem and it even surpasses the second film on all accounts. The big factor is that a new dinosaur has dethroned T-Rex as the new king predator(Spinosaurus), and that the Raptors are given even more intelligence(compared to that of Dolphins to the point of having communicative skills) than what was shown in the original movie. The only complaint is that T-Rex loses to Spinosaurus early on in the film. One would think that the filmakers would set up a confrontation between the two early on, then have a showdown near the end. Also, we find out that Ellie and Dr. Grant from the first JURASSIC PARK (Laura Dern and Sam Neill) are no longer married, but still have a loving, respected, and professional relationship. With that aside, the film pace moves briskly as characters are killed off by the dinosaurs early on such as Cooper (John Diehl-Miami Vice, DC Cab) and Udesky (Micheal Jeter - The Green Mile). The very reliable and likable Sam Neill reprises his role as Dr. Grant again (a role he is so perfect for), and is joined by another reliable and likable actor, William H. Macy (Fargo, Mystery Men), and Tea Leoni. Also, in the mix, a pre-teen character played by Trevor Morgan who plays the son of Macy and Leoni. The character is very refreshing because the filmakers make him smart, self reliant, and caring, instead of a rehash of smart alecky, mean-spirited, young teens we see in so many films these days. Overall, a great piece of entertainment with CGI that is so breathtaking and seamless, that one would think that dinosaurs still exist today.

Summary: You've got to be kidding me!!
Review: I can't even begin to explain how disappointed I am of the third installment in the Jurassic Park series. Everything about JP3 is so disappointing. This may sound like this is coming from someone who had high hopes for JP3 but actually NO, I had low expectations for it but to my shock & dismay, this movie missed meeting those by a mile. Bloody Hell, I had better expectations with Rocky & Bullwinkle back in 2000 and at least a few of them were met even though that was [...] can fodder. The entire plot is so ridiculous. The thing begins with someone who gets lost on an island after a skydiving accident, one dies, and it all just simply goes downhill after that. Sam Niell who did such a great job on the playing Dr. Alan Grant in the 1993 original Jurassic Park movie, does such a clumsy job on playing the character, almost as if he were forced into the acting studio against his will. I couldn't have thought of a much worse acting crew either. I can't blame him for the hollow character acting. The others fell completely through the trampoline with absolutely absurd character playing, and absolutely pointless plots, no sense of chemistry, and little, if any sense of writing was put into the plot. Where there was chemistry in the characters in the first movie, there is none of that in the same ppl in this third installment, and instead are those that seem to have the brains of a raisin. There are some occasional good moments with the plane crash scene being well filmed and a sense of intensity of them trying to get out in time but overall, even that doesn't put any merits into the film. Neither does the awesome, stunning views of the misty valleys, rainforests, and the mountains, even though they're great too look at. In fact, the landscape felt like the most interesting thing in the movie besides T. Rex. Overall in fact, Jurassic Park III feels more like a scrapped version of the first in the JP trilogy as at least in the Lost World, there was some ground being broken as T. Rex got onto the mainland, but here, it's all confined to the small island of Isle Sorna with the same old, same old, script that felt more like it was taken out of the recycle bin and made into a movie without depth put into it. There is nothing groundbreaking nor anything that got me into a state of excitement or thrills. The ending was just plain laughable with a sense of the lack a climax and unfinished filming. When I left the theatre in bitter disappointment, I felt like I had flushed [$$$], and 90 minutes of my life down the toilet! I have no idea of what they were thinking when they made this film but what I can say is if it was the same person who write the original one in 1993, Jurassic Park III is his first complete misfire. This addition to the trilogy was a total disappointment. I'm not pleased!

Summary: Another Jurassic Park? I Hope There's Not A Fourth
Review: i gave this movie three stars for several reasons. first of all, its action packed, with sweet effects, and a reletivley good story. i only gave it three stars because that this was no where near the excitment or storyline of the original, partly because this one wasn't based around a book. even so, this one was way better than 'The Lost World'. that movie, in my opinion, was the worst of the trilogy. i was appalled because they had changed that movie from the book so much. it was very dissapointing. lets face it, after a sequel that bad, the next one has to be better.

Summary: How about 0 stars???
Review: Oh my god! This can't be happening! This is by far one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. Let's look at why:
1. The story- unbelievably pathetic. Sure, I understand why 2 worried parents go on the island to find their lost annoying son, but the way they all get out of the mess is so STUPID it made me wanna scream! I mean, a CELL PHONE!!?? How can a cell phone possibly get any reception on a deserted island full of dinosaurs?? Oh save the phone, it's our only hope! gag!!!
2. The characters- Sam Niell looked through the entire movie as if he wanted nothing to do with it, and I can't blame him! After an amazing performance by all of his costars and him in the original, he's now teamed up with a group of the dumbest, whiniest people on the planet. They were all just SO STUPID! Not to mention the horrible acting! I mean, it did have a couple of decent big names, like Tea Leoni and William H. Macy, but even they didn't seem to look as if they were trying
3. The Dinosaurs- the whole thing was amazing in the first, and still cool in the second, but by this time everything just got really old, and the writers trying to come up with something new like "thinking dinasaurs" was like something they pulled out of their [rear-ends] after a 5 minute meeting.
4. The Ending- Oh my god! The end of this movie is like an angry Jack in the Box, it comes out of nowhere and slaps you right in the face saying "get out of here! We're done trying to entertain you!"
Who wrote this movie??? I'd like to get a piece of that guy!...The last 2 Jurassic parks were at least 2 hours long, this one had a running time of about 1:30 min, blatently showing us there really was no script at all in this rushjob paycheck of a movie.

Summary: Jurassic Park III - Getting Jurassic
Review: When "Jurassic Park" was released in 1993 it became very, very popular all around the world. It made over $900m worldwide and was a top video seller. Yet people still couldn't get enough of the Jurassic Park franchise. In 1997 when the sequal "Jurassic Park: The Lost World was released it became the biggest opening weekend of all time, making over $70m in 1997. But unfortunately it didn't make as much money as the original, in fact it made more than $300m less! The reason for this could be that if you've seen it once, you've seen it a thousand times. The first two films were original and had a very well thought out genre. When JP3 (Jurassic Park III) was released I went to go see it. Not alot of people were in the cinema! It seemed like no one was interested. But I was loyal and decided to see it. The beginning was not so great and it didn't give me the FEEL that the first and second film gave me, if you know what I mean. The first two were exciting, scary and adventurous. Its true that Steven Spielberg did not direct this film, but was only the executive producer. I strongly feel that if Steven Spielberg instead of Joe Johnston directed the film it would of been a much more successful film. The film made over $180m domestically and over $350 worldwide. I know that Jurassic Park 4 will be released in 2005 by director Steven Spielberg and I'm sure it will surpass the original by the work of Steven Spielberg because he is the only one that can bring the JP genre back to the top of the charts. JP3 starts off a little dingy but gets a little better during the plane crash and while they're stranded on the island. The new spinasaur dinosaur that they have designed is also a huge improvement. The filosoraptors have also been dramatically improved. I wonder why Same Niel was not included in the 2nd film and why Jeff Goldblum wasn't included in the 3rd film. It is clear that JP4 will be much more successful with both actors in it. Maybe also add Sarah Michelle Gellar, she's got the moves, acting ability and look. The two children from the orginal film should also hopefully star in Jurassic Park 4. I cannot guarantee that you as an individual will enjoy this film. It still has lots of action and fun, but was unfortunately much shorter than the previous two films. In my opinion I suggest that you rent or buy this film over any new releases if you are a Jurassic Park fan!
